Life is ugly but it can be beautiful if you know where to look.
Some people have that rare ability to cut through the bullshit and lay bare the fundamentals of our existence. Pain, mistreatment and burnout are all necessary ingredients of the dull suffering that makes the goodness shine. Those bad aspects are, to an artist, a shady canvas, that with the stroke of a brush or a pen, in luminescent ink, can set alight the good parts on the night sky, like the stars and the moon, and we are reminded why we choose to keep living on this godforsaken earth.
Because in the end, despite everything, we have to keep going. We are compelled. Propelled from the darkness into the light.
